 We have Cube with Product_Group Dimension similar to

the one given in the below examples. There is only daily load MaxL
script gets invoke by scheduler which loads the data into my Essbase.

/* import dimension member from sql database */

import database 'SoP_App'.'SoPDB' dimensions connect as
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' identified by
'xxxxxxxxx' using server rules_file 'addday' on error write to
'd:\addday.txt';
spool off;
logout;

As new products get added and old products get removed so

monthly as a part of customization we change the data load
rule file to accommodate new changes. Once by mistake one of
the developers removed the product category from the
production cube outline and right after that the data loading
script executed and get failed as the specified product_category
dimension member didn¶t find in the outline, however the
member specification were exist in source file and rule file.
In such situation we get the below error message
1003014 Unknown Member memberName in Data Load,
number Records Completed.

åuick Test in such situation

Make sure that the data source is valid.

‡ Are you using the correct data source?
‡ Is there an incorrect member in the data source? If so, delete
that member.
‡ Did you try to load the correct data source with the correct
rules file?
‡ Does the data source have the correct file extension? All text
files must have a file
extension of .txt. All rules files must have a file extension of .rul.
Make sure that the rules file is valid.
‡ Are you using the correct rules file?
‡ Is the rules file connected to the correct outline?
‡ Can you validate the rules file?
